WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—U.S. supreme court decided today that the California alien land act, which last week was held constitutional, prohibits "cropping contracts" between Japanese and California land owners. In another ruling clarifying its decision with respect to the validity of the California land law, the court held that the ownership of shores of stock in a California agricultural land corporation constituted an interest in real property, thus making such ownership illegal under its decision of last Monday, which barred allels not eligible to citizenship to own farm lands in the state of California. The "cropping contracts" case was decided in favor of the state of California on an appeal brot by J. J. O'Brien and J. Inouye, a Japanese. The stock case was decided against Raymond L. Frick and N. Saton, a Japanese, who brought suit to teet the power of the state law. J. J. O'Brien had entered into a four-year contract with Inouye to crop his lands. State authorities interfered but were stopped by the federal district court, which held the California alien land law did not prohibit cropping contracts with aliens inelegible to citizenship because such contracts gave no interest in the property. The state appealed, hold that a cropping contract gave an interest in real property prohibited to an inelegible alien. The U.S. supreme court held that the treaty with Japan gave the Japanese the right to lease lands for residence and commercial purposes, but did not give them right to lease or hold lands for agricultural purposes. The California law is not in violation of the federal constitution. Raymon L. Frick, the appellant in the second case, sought to sell stock in the Merced Farm Co. to N. Satow. He was prevented by the state from making the transfer on the ground that the California alien law prohibited such ownership in an alien inelegible to citizenship in the United States.
